I haven’t done one of these in quite a while, but time to get back into the routine. I haven’t been posting as much lately, because I’m working on a diet plan, that I plan to publish in stages on the website. I believe Kelly and I have acquired enough good habits that are effective in losing weight, to warrant a plan. I can’t say that I could fill a book up, but at least a few posts.

I got the idea from my attempt to show off my diet plan by posting my meals on a daily basis. Well, that fizzled out as I got busy, but it inspired me to do more. Hence, the upcoming “Hellfood Guide to Diet and Weightloss”. However, for today, I am posting a quick review on Coca-Cola Classic, the poster child for popular soft drinks.

Coke considers a serving of cola to be 8 oz, which contains 97 calories. Coke sells cans in 12 oz sizes, not 8 oz. No one I know drinks two-thirds of a can of soda and then saves it for later. So in reality, the serving size that most people drink contains 146 calories. Cola doesn’t contain a single vitaman, contains 50 mg of sodium, and 40 grams of sugar. Every source I could find states that the reccommended daily intake of sugar is 40 grams per 2,000 calories. Wow. Your entire daily intake of sugar could be used up in one sickly, sweet can of coke.

Coke tries to suggest that their cola is a good way to hydrate, but who are they kidding? Just drink water!
